Not the best study guide ever, but there were good questions for my small group discussions.
I only went through the first quarter, which is meant to be read with the first read through the book. This study guide is to be meant to be read over an entire year. It has served my purpose to get me through my summer book study, but I'm hoping to pick it up again at a later date.
Unfortunately this journal workbook was not nearly as well made or helpful as I'd hoped. I worked along for the first 6-8 disciplines, but then realised I was getting nothing out of it, which mostly just made it a waste of time. A shame.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Really helped me examine how the disciplines in the Bible are being played out in my life. Offered me the opportunity to review, renew and refresh my life.
